LR gas station robbed Monday

Little Rock police are searching for three people who robbed a gas station Monday afternoon.

Officers responded about 3:45 p.m. to the Skyroad Gas station at 5105 W. 65th St. and spoke to the employee who was present during the robbery, Little Rock Police Department spokesman Lt. Sidney Allen said in an email.

The employee said three black men entered the gas station with their heads and faces covered. The first robber told the employee to "hurry up" and fired a shot behind the counter, Allen said. The robbers then left the gas station with an undisclosed amount of money and were last seen traveling west.

Allen said surveillance footage shows at least two shots were fired inside the business during the robbery.

The investigation is ongoing.
